The Latest Dress.

A costume of handsome black MORE
and lace was made upon gown form
with waist and skirt in one piece, to Sc
cure even support of the weight from diff
ferent parts of the body. The silk was
laid on this foundation in deep box pleat-
ing TO form the drapery of the skirt. A
full mass of lace beginning at the upper
part of the waist hung loosely until reach
ing below the waist line, being thence
gathered back at either side little low
er than the hip in the form Of light folds
ending in modest style Of drapery at
the back.
The not very delightful name Of leg
lettes is given to the garments worn ii
lieu of the petticoat with this costume,
the whole being conceived as representing
dress reform. This is made Of surah silk
or wool, or other fabric, its form like that
of Turkish trousers. A jersey-fitting
garment is worn next to the body, which
it covers from neck to ankle, fitting every
part with perfect smoothness. A style
favored by reformers themselves that "a
woman is a perfect vision Of loveliness'
when so arrayed.
Over this covering, which fits the per
feet shape of the body while yielding t.
every movement, comes a combination
linen garment, designated the chimilette
This also fits the body smoothly, in th'
form of waist and drawers in one piece
without binding or band, which does no
prevent its adornment with lace and RIB
bons. The combination undergarment j
not a novelty. The distinctive featur'
of the system is formed by the leglette
as worn beneath long skirt by whicl
they are concealed.

POETR T..
THE CONFEDERATE NOTE.

Too poor to possess the precious ores,
And too much of n stranger to borrow,
We issued to-day our promise to pay,
And hoped to redeem on the morrow.
The days rolled on and weeks became years,
But our Golfers were empty still.
Gold was so scarce, the treasury quaked
If a dollar should drop in the till.
But the faith that was in us was strong indeed
Though our poverty was discerned,
And this little note represented the pay
That our suffering veterans earned.
They knew it had hardly value in gold,
But rs gold our soldiers received it;
Ii gazed in our ewes with its promise to paw
And every true soldier believed it.
But our boys thought little of price or pay
Or of bills that were overdue,
We knew if it bought our bread to-day,
Twas the best our poor country could do
Keep it, it tells all our history DER.
From the birth of the dream TO its last;
Modest and born of the Angel Hope
Like our hope of success it Passed
May be our Northern friends who have been
so much disturbed by the proposition to re-
turn the captured flags to the States will be
Modified by redemption of the Confederate
Note by the States responsible for its issuel-
Possibly they would be more agreeable if we
would give them Trade Dollars for the millions
of fac SMILES of the promise to pay which
we hoped to redeem tomorrow
Thank the Lord Yankee ingenuity cannot
counterfeit the bullet-rent battle flags now in
the keeping of the Government

Flotrer-Makers in Parts.

1t appears almost incredible that in
Paris no fewer than 10000 women find
their living by making artificial flowers.
The majority of them are asserted by
too credulous admirer to be real artists,
imitatingnatu almost to perfection, with
exquisite taste and well-developed imagi-
nation. The rose in the workshop of the
feuriste is the masterpiece. If the art of
making rose is acquired, the maker is
supposed to be able TO initiate any other
flower, the rose being co. sidered as par
ticularly developing the imagination of
young artists. As in other branches of
industry there are specialists in the flow
er factories, the buds, the foliage and the
mounting being done by different people.
AT present great number of hower-ma-
kers are out of work, owing partly TO
flowers being out of fashion and partly
to the enormous competition in England,
Germany, Switzerland and America,
which increases with every season. No
country, however, can compete with
France in elegance, delicacy and taste,
although the flowers are generally made
after French models. 1t is curious
fact, says a competent Frenchman, that
women who in France were highly es-
teemed for their TASTE in the manufactu-
ring and arranging of flowers lose all
their ingenuity when, as not infrequently
happens, they 60 abroad to pursue their

GLOOM AND CLEAN.

have my times all dull and gray,
When life crawls MANNED and slow,
And not a sunbeam marks the way
Which am forced to go.
But have times-God sends them me,
And on them sets his seal
When every moment laughs with glee,
And woe smiles into veal.
And then mount on airy wings
Which quiver in the sun;
| look on all these men and things,
And love them every one.
Or else climb up at my will,
With hope and gladness shod,
Until stand upon the hill
Wrapped in the arms of God.
God sends them me and makes them mine
And takes them then away,
could not, if would, repine
When times are dull and gray.

BLOOD AND MONEY.
July s, 1886,

The blood of man has much to do in shap-
ing his actions during his pilgrimage through
this troublesome world, regardless OF the
amount of present or eXpectant money in
pocket or stored away in bank. 1t is conce-
ded fact that we appear as our blood makes
us, and the purer the blood, the happier,
healthier, prettier and wiser we are; hence the
oft repeated interrogatory, "how is your
blood?" With pure streams of iife-giving
fluid coursing through our veins, bounding
through our hearts and ploughlng through
our physical frames, our morals become bet
ter, our constitution stronger, our intellectual
faculties more acute and grander and men,
women and children happier, healthier and
more lovely.
The unprecedented demand, the unparal-
leled curative powers, and the unmistakable
proof from those of unimpeachable character
and integrity, point with an unerring finger
to b. B. B.-Botanic Blood Balm-as far the
best, the cheapest, the quickest and the grand
est and most powerful blood remedy ever be-
fore known to mortal man, in the relief and
positive cure of Scrofula, Rheumatism, Skin
diseases, all taints of blood poison. Kidney
complaints, old ulcers and sores cancers, ca
tarrh etc.
b. b. B. is only about three years old-a ba-
by in age, giant in power-but no remedy
in America can make or ever has made such a
wonderful showing in its magical powers in
curing and entirely eradicating the above
complaints, and gigantic sales in the face OF
frenzied opposition and would-be moneyed
monopolists.
Letters from all points where introduced
are pouring in upon us, speaking in the loud
est praise. Some say they receive more bene-
fit from one bottle of b. B. b than they have
from twenty, thirty and fifty and even one
hundred bottles of boasted decoction OF inert
and non medicinal roots and branches of com
mon forest trees. We hold the broof in black
and white, and we also hold thetort.
All who desire full information about the
cause and cure of Blood Poisons, Scrofula and
Scrofulous Swellings, Ulcers, Sores, Rheuma-
tism, Kidney Complaints, Catarrh, etc, can Sc
cure by mail, free a copy of our 32-page Illus
trated Book of Wonders, filled with the most

Cleveland Haring Fun.


A Texas Syfiags reporter who has
been spotting the President and his party
sends in the following conversation be-
tween the President and Lamont:
President-"From the row those Cana
dians are making over the fishery laws it
would almost seem as if somebody had
caught something
Lamont-"That's more than we have
done; but, as you say, it does seem as if
the Canadians were devoting more time
to catching fishermen than to catching
fish,"
President-"Well, we will not go back
empty. Hand me that flask of bait"
Lamont accommodated the President,
who, after brief struggle with the flask
handed it back. 1t was a poor day for
fishing. Not trout did they hook as
they waited and watched Then there
was pull at the Presidents line.
"President-"I had a-good bite"
Lamont, who is very strict church
member, hesitated mournfully a moment
and then remarked:
80 did |; last summer in the Adiron-
dacks."
President-"I don't care, Dan, wheth-
er | catch anything or not. While am
out here not less than 300 Mugwumps a
day call at the White House to get ap-
pointments. That's luck enough for me"
Lamont-"They say this is a favorite
place for trout
President-"I've no doubt of it. We
have been here three hours and not one
of them has come out of it yet.
Lamont hit the rim of the glass that
belongs to the flask with the sharp edge
of his knife, producing n clicking noise.
"Dan," said the President sternly, "do
you spring the chestnut bell on me out
here in the woods ?"
Dan replied that he struck the glass acci-
dentally.
dts very peculiar accident" replied
the President, after which he was silent
for at least half an hour. At last La
mont remarked
Suppose we go down nearer the mouth
of the creek"
President-"Why so, DAM"
Lamont-"lt seems to me that the most
likely place for fisherman to get bite
would be at the mouth of a creek"
President-"May be so. suppose the
reason why my predecessor, Washington,
never told lie was because he never
went ishing."
Lamont-"Well, we haven't fished
much to hurt. | heard Democrat to
whom you had refused an office say that
he hoped you wouldn't get bite. think
that's got something to do with it,
Maybe so but speaking
of fishermen telling lies, we should re-
member that the fisherman is really not
responsible"
Lamont-"Why not?"
President-"Because it is the fault Of
the fish. If the fish did their duty there
would be no occasion for lying"
Lamont-"I hadn't thought Of that.
BY the way, there is boy little furth'
er down who has big string Of fish,"
President-"Lets 60 hunt him up.
As | was saying, | don't care a cent
whether catch any fish or not. Disap-
pointing the Mugwumps who call at the
White House while am away is fun
enough for me"
